Default 08 Quality Grille

Hey everyone, this is my first post - hi. I recently got an '08 tC, and I want a new grille. I have no skills when it comes to drilling stuffs into my car, so I want one I can just attach and screw in. The trouble is, all the ones that claim to attach easily seem to be cheap plastic, while the nicer ones made of quality plastic or metal have to be drlled into place. Can anyone recommend a quality grille that attaches easily to an '08?

Thanks for any help

maybe I am confused - but dont both the figure and VRD grilles require drilling new holes? Is this still the best way to go, even with my limited skills with a drill?

VRD requires no drilling at all...just snap in and perfect fitment

figure will require drilling

VRD FTW! No other grill on the market compares. It fits like stock, no drilling or zip ties.

Thanks, Does the VRD need to be drilled also? I read instructions to Figure Grille & they need to be drill. I'm leaning toward the VRDs. Since I'm still on meds for the big "C". Is it best to let my mechanic to install it?

vrd requires no drilling, I installed mine without removing the bumpers either.
